Georgia 48, Boise State 13
It was supposed to be one of the most intriguing match-ups of the opening weekend of college football--two top 20 programs, squaring off. Boise State had a lot of momentum and buzz based on their bowl game showing last year and were heaviliy talked about for their wide-open offense. Meanwhile, Georgia had questions on both sides of the ball as to how to replace the senior leadership lost last year.
Someone must have forgot to mixed up the scripts for this one. Georgia looked like the world beaters on all sides of the ball Saturday afternoon while Boise State looked confuse and bewildered by the relentless attack of the Bulldogs. Georgia won the first game of the 2005 season in convincing fashion, 48-13.
Boise State turned the ball over five times in the first half and Georgia capitalized early and often, building up a 31 point lead before Boise State could crack the end zone.
By then, the damage was done and the momentum was gone. Georgia rolled to the win, stiffling the vaunted Boise State offense on defense and looking crisp on offense. The game of the weekend had all the intrigue drained out of it early by a dominating performance by the Bulldogs and a mistake prone afternoon by Boise State.
Georgia faces their first SEC test next week when they face Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
